Hey, did anyone else besides @mawr get their Pride Dice from Heartbeat Dice after their Kickstarter completed?
#TMITuesday Ask me stuff, please! I like answering your questions. Make me do research or google searches. I'm pretty good at finding things!
CW: There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo (Play adaptations, Youtube link)
So, for those who didn't know: A high school in New Jersey, USA, adapted Ridley Scott's Alien (the first one) for their school play. They did this on the arts budget of an American high school. And somehow, lawyers and bean-counters managed to stay out of it long enough for the play to actually be performed, and for Scott to catch wind of it.
He gave the school $5,000 USD to fund an encore performance.
For the encore, Sigourney Fucking Weaver shows up and watches.
Now the whole play has been posted to Youtube, for free.
Problematics in River Tribe break rooms
Ugh. Security guy in the office is boasting about the possible police response to Mayday protesters and looking forward to watching teargas and flash-bangs getting thrown. Very proud of all the ties to police intel, and how much information is available on "troublemakers"
Super uncomfortable, but not willing to get in his face about it.
I'm such a coward.
re: CW: Youtube link, sharing music. New Order's Blue Monday on popular 1930's Instruments, Drug use.
In making the previous post, I forgot to include what inspired the mildly incoherent statement:
There are a lot of cool sounding instrutments in this video! And, considering the 30s was depression era, IIRC, it makes sense to me that a lot of them look home built or improvised.

Music is such an innate desire of humans. We have such a drive to create and share music. Every instrument created came from a desire for expressing something that couldn't be done yet. So a way of making it had to be /made!/
This is why i have such respect for artists and creators and engineers, and builders. Because its a way of leaving an unmistakable artifact in the universe that you were a part of it.
Why yes, I have recently gotten stoned. Why do you ask?

Nostalgia, My Aesthetic
There was a movie that I really liked when I was growing up, called Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (Or Job's War, if your in the colonizers) And the introduction to the protagonist shows him as a member of of a group of kids on the street. Their parents weren't ever in the picture, so. it was easy to seem them as street orphans, scrambling and scrounging to get their next few hours of fun in VR.
I always liked that. No parents, but finding a family that sticks together.
Have some bygone beats:

CW: Kids these days (+)
The kids who are growing up now, current middle schoolers and high schoolers, are going to make society on this planet very, very interesting in about 10 years. They've been immersed in a much more connected, concious, and aware sort of environment than I feel I did when I was their age. They live in world where access to a massive range of information is a fact, not something they watched get switched on. So they're going to learn from a much younger age how shitty the world can be. and thus have more time to figure out if they care if it affects them, and what they want to do about it if it does.
I'm sure there's at least 2-5 papers or studies some science/college person can get out of studying that.
So much unmotivation at work today. Queue is over 100 tickets. So hard to slog through and there is something about this location and how the systems have been changed for the worse makes it ever more tedius to resolve them. lots of extra undocumented steps that didn't need to be performed a month ago. This sucks so much and is making it really hard to feel like I want to keep working here.
I might want to start looking for my next move sooner rather than later.
"if it were easy then they wouldn't call it "work"!" is a saying that makes me want to crawl out of my fucking skin.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
